Well, this week at my field we saw that there were a group of 5 kids that it was their first time. and something stupid that they did was all of them bought rotors, the most expensive tanks, and masks, and they had egos, bob long g6rs, and one had a geo. well it was all their first time at a field, and we said we would play them, well another group of regulars join in and we start playing. after the first maybe 2 minutes, we heard someone either crying or something, so i go over and the bunker across from me i see one of the kids holding his neck and head. so i drop my gun and rush over to check him. when i get there i see one large mark, bleeding on his neck, and his head is bleeding. so i tell him to keep his mask on and i rush over to the ref. games is off, and we go back to the resting area. Someone had their pressure way too high so i see the other guys over at another bench ( the regulars) switching their pressure. so after the crono we go back out. next round all the kids are on the ground whining. game over, almost all the welts and marks were bleeding. so the kids call their parents to pick them up. they all said thier selling their gear and getting out of paintball. I felt terrible even tho it wasnt my fault seeing kids walk out dissapointed. and the regulars start laughing. I know how it feels to be shot with the pressure all the way up, but being over shot like that is terrible. so about 5 kids are out of paintball because of cheaters.

I did notify the ref and owner the ref said talk to owner, but the owner at the field said he couldnt do anything. because when someone who is sponsered by the field like they were can do anything. i was shot in the back of the head with the velocity turned up and told the owner. but since they were sponsored they didnt do anything. yeah terrible owner. but its the cheapest field around. and sometimes its the co owner who is there and does stuff.

A rational person would have yanked their sponsorship on the spot. You don't want to be represented by such a group.

That is absolutely terrible. I can't believe they would let these people get away with that because their sponsored by this field. That's how people feel godly. If this 'owner' were any good or at least a decent human being he'd of yanked that sponsorship so fast that those people wouldn't have had time to get a peep in. But then again so goes the world.

If I were those kids parents I'd have pressed charges for malicious intent and possibly worse depending. Its just like the olden days when paint would actually freeze. Fuck that noise. Ban them and yank their sponsorship's, or notify their sponsors and have them do it.

Even though I don't like kids like that, I never over chrono or use anything uncapped. I don't even like to use ramping. The only time I've purposely bonus balled someone was when some hick dad thought It would be funny to bunker me out and shoot my loaned gear several times so my friends who were nice enough to lend it would get mad at me, so I ran through on him and his son and gave him an extra five in the lens and barrel.... Then he got extra mad because he couldn't get the Stinger stain out

we had the same problems, the guys would only play if there were new people and they would chrono their guns and then on the field he would bring tools and crank it up there....we eventually caught on and banned them then one ouf our guys met him at a gas station 2 months later and they almost got into a fight bacuse of it.
Why are we the guns even able to shoot more than 325?
and also one of my friends believer that "speedball" you chrono at 500 , above the legal limit and you need a licence for it

Viagra, lubricant, and pornographic movies? If that package arrived at my house, I'd be calling a babysitter and making reservations at the Marriott

Wow I hate bullshit like this. I do not understand peoples thinking when they blast newer players to death. Playing hot though is inexcusable. I have a few people who somewhat play like this and it pisses me off soo much.

Well what goes around comes around hopefully. Im sure if it happens to them they will bitch about it for months straight. I played against this kid today who does shit like this all the time (member too). It irritates the fuck outta me. I wish somebody would just kick him off the field. Ive never met somebody who liked him yet. Hes one of those people who thinks the gear makes the player.

the field is liable for assault charges if they don't follow their own rules

insurance companies state that these are the rules and if they don't follow their rules they won't cover the field... waivers only apply if the rules are followed... waivers don't protect the field if the field doesn't follow the rules

what the fuck?? cant do anything because he sponsors the little pricks??? screw that shit i would never go there again.

also what he is trying to say is that after they chrono there gun to the fields limit thus making the ref think there within field limit.... the pricks went and turned there velocity up more with out the ref knowing.

I'm surprised there was no mention as to which field this was, which team was being sponsored, or anything to identify the people responsible for this.

Do us a favor OP and let us know so we don't go to this place.

EDIT::: Okay I am requesting this personally since I see that you're in NJ as well. If my brother or sister got blasted like that I'd be sure as hell to do everything I can to make their days miserable.

If I were the parent of one of the kids that got lit up, my first call would be to the police, and the second would be to my lawyer. Before you tell me I'm overreacting, ask yourself if you want paintball to perceived as a safe sport, or not.

parent's should call the police in that case, and you should have the balls to tell them what happened (not saying that you don't)

even if the cops can't do anything, the kids are already dropping out of paintball, so having the law paying the field a serious visit should teach that motherfucker of an owner to never let this shit repeat itself.

They deserve a taste of their own medicine... Just because those kids' parents are rich doesn't mean idiots have to act like idiots. I can relate to this and I get where those idiots are coming from but it's not those kids fault that they come from rich families. Sometimes... People are just plain old fucking stupid.

Yeah its those kind of people that mike was talking about in the video paintball is dying. These kind of people ruin the game for incoming players and will eventually dwindal the numbers down to nothing.

I'd also press charges in this case. I have the pleasure to work at my local PB field here in Saskatoon, any one the brings there own marker to the field, we always have them crono with a staff member present. We also walk around work a mini crono and check them while playing. I'd fire that ref that was running the field you were playing and pull the sponsership and ban them from the field. IMOP

Personally, if the field owner wouldn't do anything because he was sponsoring those players... I'd tell him I would never give him my business again, and I'd tell him I would make damn sure none of my friends, family, or associates would ever give him their business.

I know it's situational, but on the topic of kids buying expensive gear. I know two kids that got jobs cutting grass for two summers to save up for paintball gear and bought stuff that everyone on the field wanted. I say good for them! I know people are referring to the spoiled kids that get expensive gear handed to them. Just figure we should remember that not all the kids had the gear handed to them.

Saw them there last week and guess what they did it again i ran up and bunkered them. told the ref, and got their spnsor ship yanked. so its all fine with those guys. they are not allowed at the field anymore. And got a nice case of paint for it. but just gave it to a new kid at the field. glad they are gone.

To TechDP on the first page, you sure as hell do not shoot back at them with upped velocity. Judging by the story, I'm sure the sponsored players are probably tight wads and have really old lenses. 1 shot to the mask, which are really only meant to be hit at speeds slower than 300 FPS, on an old lens like that would probably break it and cause a shit ton of damage to that person's face. And if you're douchey-enough to use monsterballs in the situation, I guarantee they'll go blind.

And that's awesome to hear.

i dont shoot them, i greet them in the nude and invite them into my house to talk about jesus.

I actually had a similar experince like this it must have been the spring of 2010 and I was just getting into paintball. I only knew woodsball style rules so I assumed that I wouldnt get bunkered or shot from 5-7 feet away. My friend and I and some other randoms were versing a paintball team and they were all wearing matching jerseys and stuff (they took it pretty seriously, like I hope to do) but one guy ran around behind me and shot me in the knee and bare in the top of my head (yes i was wearing a mask) from about 5-7 feet away if I had to guess. I was bleeding outta my head and after that game one of the kids on their team chronoed and I wasn't sure if it was the kid that shot me because they all wore identical jerseys. He chronoed at 420ish fps. I was then scared to play paintball again and recently im finally gettting back into my favorite sport. Note: i wasnt using expensive stuff just my own 98c and mask were the only paintball equipment I had

Yeah my field if they know your group or you play as a team against a team the refs let you rais the fps to 290 otherwise my field has to stay under 275

That really sucks though you should have walked up to them and told them to forget this day and come back and play you and a group of friends and let them win it's always sad swing people leave the sport

if i were there i would have given the kids tips and stuff on how to work their guns and how to play efeectively.i also would have let them beat me so that they would feel good and it would boost their moral. when i was new to the sport everyone was nice to me and did all that stuff for me! it really gave me a good sense of how nice the players are! thats what keeps people coming back, thats how people have fun!

what comes around goes around people, treat others with repect and they will treat you with respect!
no need for everyone to be a douschebag about it, so what their spoiled. doesnt mean they shouldnt get to enjoy the sport just like anyone else!

The guys that turned up their gun should get their balls ripped off by a flying gorilla.

"when some one asks hey you sure you wanna use that pump, i got an ion in the car you can borrow so it's more fair for you, and you respond saying no it's okay i have a dm8 in my trunk but i feel like dominating this game so i'll use this instead."
